Mooney Mite M-18
Start of the fuselage subassembly. Before gluing the core pieces to the sides check that you are building left and right sides. The ¹⁄₆₄-inch doubler pieces have
been glued in place using the Top Notch Products pin registry method. Now the remainder of the fuselage pieces can be assembled.
Before drilling the wing mounting holes thread two ¼–20 sharpened screws (above left) into the wing saddle from the bottom as shown. Align the wing and press down firmly enough to leave a mark on the wing. Next drill two ¼-inch diameter holes through the wing. Placement of the engine throttle control (above right) is shown in the top of the picture. Below it is the battery and to the
right of the battery is the landing gear servo. In the far right of the picture is the Spring Air pneumatic air tank. Top side of receiver tray (below left). Receiver is held in place with hook and loop material. Completing the fuselage is a Thunder Tiger F-130 (below right). To avoid any mistakes with the fuel lines Joe used red to the carburetor, yellow to the muffler and clear for filling.
